Mr.. Adams, Of Cheyenne River, was at
the STAR Office and stated lat his wheat
stood waist high. How is that for ard
Dakota.
The skirmishers along the front of
the b. l.. NJ. report all quiet, but in.
trenchments are being made fcra d long
siege Of the Black Hills. The first
stragetic movement will, we think, he
made in the rear Of Hot Springs.
The STAR has often asserted that
the best quality Of mineral paint
exists in unlimited quantities in the
vicinity of Hot Springs, and the follow
ing from the Buffalo Gap News clearly
proves the truth Of our assertions
I'm sinking a well on Dave Dawson s
claim, eight miles west of town, A.
Rouerts struck a red putty.like sub.
stance, which DR.. Connant says is as
good venitian red paint as the best
secured from England. MIR. Roberts has
already cut through ten feet of the
substance, and came to town on Mon.
day to have an augur made with which
to bore through the mud and test its
depth"

III. plLor,s OPINION.

After one sees the Black Hills they
cannot blame the Indian for having
fought TO retain this portion of country,
and especially will one be convinced OF
this fact after visit to the liot Springs.
over which locality there has been
fought more than one bloody battle.
Tie first one of which we have any
information was between the Sioux and
Cheyenne Indians. the former winning
after a long and bloody seige.
The town of tiot springs Is located
i'll the northern portion of Fall River
county, upon stream bearing that
name. (Fall Rivcr.) and we may here
add that the name is entirely appropri-
ate; as there is almost a continuous fall,
while in some places it is quite abrupt.
The town is yet very new, but is APP
parently prosoerins. Its chief hope u
attaining greatness is through the
delightful scenery and their mineral
hot springs. Yet the. have some goo.i
agricultural lands and it is an excellent
stock region
The Minnekahta House is an en-
cellent, commotiious hotel, elegantly
furnished, and is itself an attractive
feature. The principal and best APP
pointed bath house is in connection
with the Minnekahta.
Although but q few years ago these
springs were known only to savages.
they are now famous and rival Hot
Springs Of Arkansas. Some of the
most wonderful cures, in the way OF
rheumatism. neuralgia, paralysis, dvs-
pepsia. eczema. etc.. have been wrought
by these healtt-restoring waters.
There are innumerablc objects of
interest in and around Hot Spring>.
and many delightful drives, one of
wh:cl is along the banks Of Fall River
to Minnekahta Fall ll.-ahout five miles
distant from town. Along the entire
drive the views are varied and grand.
An attempt.to describe the grandeur of
those falls would certainly result in an
injustice to the beautiful scene that
the sparkling. limpid waters present as
they plunge madly down through the
rocky chasms and over precipices for
hundreds OF feet. In any direction the
sights are ever-changing, surprising
and wonderful.

The Ladies of Hot Springs have put
their heads together and when the.
withdrew them they had resolved tlat
instead of going to some other place to
spend the 4th. they would devise plans
to celebrate at their own beautiful town
and consequently a programme was
constructed which viii be published
next week and will give all the de-
tails. So everybody can come, bring
along their eagle and let him scream
the Battle Cry Of Freedom. OH the

pose of testing the efficacy OF the wa

near Spring Valley Ranch. Mr.. B,lt-
ler received some severe internal inju-
ries which he has reason TO beliave

gives them fair trial. his hopes will

from Secretary Lamar.
Specal to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, June 2I.-All of the land
grant railroads of the country have returned
answers to Secretary Lamar's order requiring
them to show cause why the several orders OF
withdrawal from settlement of the lands within
their indemnity limits should not be revoked
and the lands thrown open to settlement With
but few exceptions the roads, in reply, state that
if they had their due they would receive more
land than they now have, muct
of the land granted them has
been pres empted and there is land
from which to make selections. The St. Paul &
Sioux City Rrailroad Company takes the ground
that this matter is beyond the jurisdiction of the
Secretary of the Interior The ST. Paul. Mime
sofa & Manitoba Railroad Company states that
it now has case pending in the Supreme Court
of the United States which WILL when decided,
determine the status of that road before the law
in regard to its land grant. The Atlantic s. Pa
ciic Railroad Company states that it has earned
one million acres more land than it has received.

THE MAXWELL LAND GRANT.
The Settlers Claim 1t Is Public Domain, and
Threaten to Make Some Serious Trouble.

RATION, n. NJ, June 27-There is trouble
among the settlers on the Maxwell land grant,

ing is q copy of call which has been issued tor
meeting at this place on Aug. 1:
SHOULDER ARMS! FORWARD MARCH!
"Settlers-The so-called Maxwell grant is pub
lie domain. 1t was thrown open to settlement
and entry as public land in 1874 by the final and
authoritative Judgment of the Secretary of the
Interior This final Judgment settlers, has new
er been reversed. For several years it has been
treated with contempt by spectators and cor
Commissioner Williamson, after. the Secretary
had pronounced the judgment of she land de-
partment final, could not reverse that Judgment.
The Supreme Court did not dare to say,
ter brought to its attention, that
Commissioner Williamson could arbitrarily
verse the first decision of the Secretary of the
Interior The nine Supreme Court corruption
lists lodged that point in the interest of the pub
lie land thieves. In pretending to arbitrarily
verse the final and vested judgment of the Sec
retary of the Interior, Commissioner Williamson
committed an infamous crime in the interest of
the high toned public land thieves. Settlers.
you are now asked to submit to this outrageous
crime. Don't you do il. Only contemplate

from public land as tresspassers by an official
gang of public land thieves. Settlers. you

obey 1t again. Come to Ration in force by the
first day of next August, and if we cannot. in

Bioodshed Not Expected.

DENVER, June PA prominent business man
of Ration, N. NJ, who arrived here to-day, in
speaking of the situation in Colfax county, said:
"For some weeks past rumor has been tele-
graphed over the country that revolt, riot and
boodshed were imminent between the settlers
and the owners Of the Maxwell land grant, and
that the former intended, by force of arms, to
resist eviction from it or lease of the lands upon
which they are located. The latest move in this
direction is the circulation throughout the
county of call for a mass-meeting at Ration,
on Aug. !, to take some action in
the matter The call is said to be
signed by Hon. S. B. Elkins of New York,
Hon. j. B. Catron, of Santa Fe, and NJ. W.
Mills 1t is true there are number of aeitators
down there who anxious for an outbreak,
and are doing all they to increase the dissar-
sfaction, but understand most of the settlers
will refuse to assail the decree of the Supreme
Court of the United States. or attempt to fight
the government, but will make the best terms
possible with the grants owners. It is very i'm
probable that either Mr.. Elkins or Mr.. Catron
lent his name to this attempt to stir up disturb
ance, or signed the call l don't anticipate
boodshed trouble between the settlers and
the grant owners"
